Nobody needs it thats why
They are non-functional chaff countermeasure launchers, as seen on some other modern vessels.

Does the 30mm seriously not have any other belts? A tad unfortunate
Oh yeah I forgot that the F-18 is on par with the Rafale, how could I forget that.
Specifically the F-18C without HMD.
I think that list was quite short, but there won’t be another one, you can be sure. It was leaked because of the deal involving Olivia. I made a promise that if the Su-35 didn’t come, I would return to GRB, or do the Rafale in France. And maybe grind china, i want chinese flankers
I think that if either the Gripen or the Su-35 were planned for this patch they would have popped out in the list, but eh, I guess march update it is.
China flankers are looking hella strong, and the J-10C is also very interesting, most likely the next tree I’ll be aiming for too.
This December DEV server will be quite large, to be honest; I believe it will be an air superiority style update.
Or they were skipped in favor of more popular nations taking the spotlight. Both are good explanations imo
I mean the “Educated Guess” list did say Part 1 or #1 so it goes to say that there might be a second one
Air superiority was rushed iirc, like December 12th it released with only 2 days of dev server time.
I may be confusing it with another December update though.
It’s kinda debatable but fair, afterall, France will continue to be the spotlight for AIR RB at least, even with the new addittions.
PL-15 should be quite the gamechanger, but I doubt that it will see proper performance modeling.
I don’t know, they might be delayed. The Su-35 is more likely to be delayed than the Gripen E because it’s taking too long, just like the Japanese F-2. But before the leak, they said they wouldn’t leak anything because they wanted to let the Gaijin prepare a surprise for us. However, as happened with Olivia, I think they decided to leak only certain things, like the MiG-25, which is very iconic and highly anticipated, just like the BMPT. They certainly know what’s coming, but they won’t show us.
Yeah about damn time lol

Gripen just won’t be that exciting imo. Worse mobility for better acceleration and missiles. Sure better radar but it’s basically a glorified Fighter version of an F15E.
Gripen E needed ECM to stick out. Early Gripen E prototypes would’ve been the better choice but oh well. Just another L for sweden air but thats basically the usual lmao.
Im honestly more excited for the J10C, been waiting for that thing for a while.

Can go either way. Id still give the Gripen at least a reasonably fair chance of appearing, the leaklist was quite small/limited

Yes, but I hope they open the dev room soon and release the trailer, damn, waiting until Thursday is going to be a long time.
I’m wondering, if BVVD said that everyone will have AESA by the end of the year, what will Israel get? While it’s clear with the other nations, it’s debatable here. I believe we’ll see F-16V/Rafale (Greece) or a possible F-15SG.
